Center for Advancing Population Science (CAPS)

Clinical leaders define challenges that patients and clinicians encounter in the healthcare system. Their frontline perspective helps prioritize projects, while ensuring a connection between clinical impact and delivery science.

Researchers experienced in delivery science co-design implementation and evaluation plans with clinical leaders and frontline staff. Clinical leaders and frontline staff assess the feasibility and impact of proposed solutions and identify and manage operational details.

This team uses data from the EHR, ancillary systems, and prospective data collection to assess process and outcome measures.

CHDS provides resources for the rigorous evaluation of projects, including clinical, quality, and cost outcomes.

CHDS faculty and staff work with clinical leadership to publish and disseminate learnings.
